Cabin 8138 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 8138 is an Ocean View Balcony on Oasis of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 8138 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Oasis of the Seas, and it sits far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Nothing sits close by: it is 16 cabins to Trend, the nearest thing of its kind. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. Trend on deck 8, the fashion boutique in Central Park carrying resort wear and accessories. Worth knowing: no noise. Shop hours only, and closed while the ship is in port. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 29th cabin position of 176 along Deck 8. Deck 8 also has Giovanni's Table, John Hardy, Vintages and Park Cafe on it. There are 328 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

An Ocean View Balcony gives you 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 42-55 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

On loyalty, this is a standard grade, so Crown and Anchor credits its base one cruise point a night. There are exactly two ways to double that: move up to a suite, or sail on your own on a double occupancy fare. Either pays two a night, and doing both pays three. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 93 per cent of the 2,836 cabins on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 96 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
